Huge loss to the North East scene. Good luck Paul hope you will be a regular visitor x
Great, somewhere to stay in London - just kidding Kate. Thanks for everything.
Paul - you'll be such a big miss up here. You've done so much for the local scene - especially with your mentoring and encouragement of the youngsters. The best of luck to you and Kate in London - and the best of times. xx
What Pam said. We await your welcome return(s) and updates on BebopSpokenHere 🙂 Good Luck (not actually needed!)
When I first heard Paul play a year or two ago, I realised immediately that this young man, who had taken over the piano chair that I had vacated at the Black Bull Jazz Club, was something special. I remarked that if there was any justice in the world, he was destined to be an international star. By moving to London he is embarking on the first step to this end & he surely will not fail.Good luck Paul-- you deserve the success that will undoubtedly come your way!!!

As well as all the myriad other things he does Paul kindly offered and somehow found precious time to help out at Blaydon. The fundraiser he put together and organised last Spring helped save the club really. We all know he's a great player who happens to care deeply. I wish him every success. Thanks Paul.
